Inside the Gallery (Australia): Sangeeta Sandrasegar: Crossing Cultures
No full textSangeeta Sandrasegar’s art practice is centred on hybridity theories, and explores her life in Australia as an artist of Malaysian, Indian and Australian heritage, and the relationship between migrant communities and homelands. Her practice, including her highly regarded work with paper cutouts, has engaged with shadows as an ephemeral motif symbolising the movement of cultures and people. Recently too, Sangeeta’s work has involved the dying of large flowing fabric panels, with a particular focus on the nature and message of colours, particularly INDIGO. In this podcast, Professor Khosronejad spoke to Sangeeta via Zoom, and asked her about the nature of her work, the strong international influences, and the manner by which curators, gallerists and artists work together
Empirical Study of the Evolution of {P}ython Questions on {S}tack {O}verflow
Get PDFBackground: Python is a popular and easy-to-use programming language. It is constantly expanding, with new features and libraries being introduced daily for a broad range of applications. This dynamic expansion needs a robust support structure for developers to effectively utilise the language. Aim: In this study we conduct an in-depth analysis focusing on several research topics to understand the theme of Python questions and identify the challenges that developers encounter, using the questions posted on Stack Overflow. Method:We perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis of Python questions in Stack Overflow. Topic Modelling is also used to determine the most popular and difficult topics among developers. Results: The findings of this study revealed a recent surge in questions about scientific computing libraries pandas and TensorFlow. Also, we observed that the discussion of Data Structures and Formats is more popular in the Python community, whereas areas such as Installation, Deployment, and IDE are still challenging. Conclusion: This study can direct the research and development community to put more emphasis on tackling the actual issues that Python programmers are facing

For CS Educators, by CS Educators: An Exploratory Analysis of Issues and Recommendations for Online Teaching in Computer Science
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has completely transformed the education sector. Almost all universities and colleges have had to convert their normal classroom teaching to online/remote or hybrid teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online teaching has been found quite useful during an emergency situation. This switch to online teaching forced educators to come out of their comfort zone and learn new tools and techniques for online teaching. It is important, therefore, to analyse the problems faced by educators in online teaching because this has become the new normal. There are several studies identifying the issues faced by educators in online teaching but less is known about the issues faced by Computer Science (CS) educators. In this paper, we perform an exploratory study of the problems, questions, and associated responses from CS educators posted on popular Q&A forums, e.g., CS educators StackExchange. We identified six main challenges related to online teaching: platform recommendation, Q&A management, academic dishonesty, pair programming, and feedback mechanism. Several recommendations are provided by other CS educators in each of the categories, which are discussed in detail in this paper. This study will help organizations come up with better solutions to support their educators so that they can deliver better quality education and reduce the overall stress levels of staff

Sangeeta sinuomacula Li, Dai & Li, sp. nov.
No full textSangeeta sinuomacula Li, Dai & Li sp. nov. (Figs 1 –15) Body length (including tegmina). ♂, 5.9 –6.0 mm; ♀, 6.1 mm. Holotype description. Head and thorax (color). Ground color yellow brown (Figs 1–3). Crown with black medial stripe and two pairs of black spots: one approximately equidistant between eye and median line, other near eyes. Face upper margin with two maculae contiguous with those on crown, midline with black stripe extending to base of postclypeus, and with dispersed black pattern near eyes; ocelli dark brown bordered with black; eyes reddish brown; frontoclypeal suture dark brown, bilaterally with pair of black spots, frontoclypeus with two rows of dark brown dots near lateral margins; anteclypeus dark brown, distal part black; gena white; lora yellowish; clypeal sutures black. Pronotum yellowish brown, anterior margin and posterior area with black peak shaped pattern bordering medial yellowish brown sinuate marking, posterior margin yellowish. Mesonotum dark brown, middle line and lateral angles black. Scutellum black, with pair of light yellow tadpole shaped stripes on lateral margins. Forewing black with yellow venation, claval suture pale yellowish. Legs dark brown. Female body color and pattern similar to male but lighter. Morphology. Body (Figs 1–2) slender, wedge shaped. Head shorter medially than laterally. Face (Fig. 3) across eyes slightly longer than broad, frons with striate region distinct, area of frontoclypeal suture distinctly depressed; anteclypeus nearly oval, projected beyond lora and gena; transclypeal suture complete. Pronotum 2.3 × wider than broad, fore margin slightly depressed near eyes, hind margin slightly concave medially. Scutellum 1.2 × longer than pronotum. Forewings opaque, venation prominent, with three anteapical and four apical cells, inner anteapical cell closed basally with additional cross vein, cross vein between claval veins incomplete. Hind tibia with 11 macrosetae on PD row, 6 on AD row, 10 on AV row. FIGURE. 15. Geographical distribution of Sangeeta sinuomacula Li, Dai & Li sp. nov. Male genitalia. Pygofer (Fig. 5), in lateral view, broad basally, lobe oval, with scattered setae on caudal part, dorsal margin approximately straight, caudal margin sloping, and ventral margin depressed at middle. Valve broader than long. Subgenital plates elongate, triangular, not fused to each other at basal part or to valve, ventral surface with few scattered setae and five stout macrosetae in one row. Segment X with lower portion strongly elongate then tapered to pointed tip. Style (Fig. 6), robust, inner arm 1.8 × longer than outer arm, with inner margin triangularly inflated medially, distal half narrowed. Aedeagus (Figs 7–8), rather complex, relatively robust, ventral part of apical half distinctly compressed; in lateral view, shaft with margin parallel sided, bent dorsally, apical ventral margin sinuate, dorsal apodeme elongate, slender; in ventral view, aedeagus broad basally, dorsal apodeme expanded in bilateral direction, shaft with pair of median slender processes on lateral margins, apex subacute; gonopore apical on ventral margin. Connective (Fig. 9) simple, almost as wide as its long, caudal margin depressed medially, and anterior margin with fingerlike protuberance at middle. Female genitalia. Seventh sternite (Fig. 4) 3.0 × longer than sixth, and 1.5 × wider than long, with large triangular pigmented region with front angle and hind medial portion dark brown, hind margin approximately straight, ovipositor clearly exceeding pygofer. First valvulae (Fig. 10), in lateral view, dorsally curved from base; ventral interlocking device clear; dorsolateral surface with sculptured area formed by orderly oblique rows of scalelike processes (Fig. 11) on distal 1 / 3 of shaft; ventroapical region with scalelike processes; dorsoapical and ventroapical margins pseudodentate; apex acute. Second valvulae (Fig. 12), in lateral view, also curved dorsally from base, with broadest region at apical sixth; dorsal hyaline area present, near apical 2 / 5; dorsal prominence heavily pronounced; teeth on apical half of dorsal margin, positioned behind dorsal prominence, not very uniform, mostly obtuse, of different sizes (Fig. 13); apex blunt (Fig. 13). Gonoplacs (Fig. 14) in lateral view with basal half narrow and nearly parallel-sided between dorsal and ventral margins, dorsal margin suddenly broadened at apical 2 / 5 and then narrowing gradually toward rounded apex; surface with tiny spiniform processes and several setae along ventral margin. Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA: Yunnan Province, Gaoligongshan, Baihualing, 0 5. VIII. 2013, collected by Fan Zhi-Hua & Yang Wei-Cheng. Paratypes: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, same data as holotype. Distribution. China (Yunnan Province) (Fig. 15). Remarks. Based on the narrow face, vertex with distinct inverted V shaped striations and the shape of male genitalia the specimens clearly belong to the genus Sangeeta. However, this new species differs from most other Sangeeta in having the aedeagal shaft with a pair of slender processes rather than laminated expansions. Sangeeta fyanensis Viraktamath and S. linnavuorii Viraktamath also have paired, distally projecting processes on the aedeagus but they are short, stout, and close to the apex of the shaft. Etymology. The new species name is derived from the Latin words “ sinuo- ” and “ macula ”, refers to the shape sinuate yellowish brown region on the pronotum. According to original descriptions, illustrations and examinations of specimens the following key largely based on the male genitalia appears to distinguish Sangeeta species.Published as part of Li, Hu, Dai, Ren-Huai & Li, Zi-Zhong, 2015, Description of Sangeeta sinuomacula sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae: Agalliini) from Yunnan Province of Southwest China, pp. 129-134 in Zootaxa 3974 (1) on pages 130-133, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3974.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/24504
